PHOTOS: Venezuelan Women Go Crazy For Giant Boobs

The female models, which feature enhanced breasts, super slim waists and long legs, appear to highlight Venezuela's obsession with cosmetic surgery.
These are the bizarre mannequins that are said to be fuelling body-image problems in Venezuela.
The female models, found on street markets throughout the country, reflect the obsession with cosmetic surgery procedures.
Featuring enhanced busts, super-slim waists and long legs, they echo the most popular procedures taking place there - breast augmentation and liposuction.
Several makers of the dolls are now in operation, including Eliezer Alvarez, who makes the dolls at a workshop in Valencia, Venezuela.
Alvarez said that the business was helped by a 'simple observation'- that more and more women in his country are having plastic surgery.
Even women with low incomes set aside daily necessities for months at a time to undergo procedures, in an attempt to live up to the country's increasingly unattainable beauty ideals.
One woman feeling the pressure to get the 'perfect' body is 23-year-old Georgina Osuna, who has already had her existing breast implants replaced by larger ones.
